Spring Markets featuring Mama's Locally




The spring weather is finally here (feels more like summer - but hey I'll take it).  One of the things I look most forward to in the spring is the opening of all the markets.  Our very own local Farmer's Market begins this weekend and I can hardly wait to take the kiddies on our weekly adventures through the town.  We usually start off at the market and then stop in at some of the local shops.  Last year they offered face painting and music in the park once a month.  I'm hoping they'll do the same this summer.

Another Market I'm very excited to share with you is the Mama's Locally Pop-up Market.  It happens once a month at the Bolton Community Centre and gives local vendors the opportunity to showcase their stuff.  Many of the vendors sell items geared towards babies and young children but there are several other tables featuring artwork, jewellery, bath and body items, food and women's fashion...each month they switch it up providing a fun a unique shopping experience.  I personally have thoroughly enjoyed my time there and I've also managed to find some adorable items for my kids as well as for myself.

A little background info from the sister duo who started it all...

"We decided to join forces and create Bolton's pop-up market.  We ourselves are local shoppers and found that Bolton didn't have a market like this.  It was certainly lacking.  So we decided to create Mama's Locally, where once a month pop-up markets can be provided to the public.  Our goal is to showcase our amazing community vendors that continue to inspire us with their handmade products."

So if you're looking for a fun and affordable shopping experience be sure to head on over to their next event.  All the information can be found below.  You can also get up-to-date info by following these two entrepreneurs through social media.  You'll find them on Instagram and Facebook.  Here is the direct link to their website: https://mamaslocally.ca/  


Some of the fun things I picked last weekend for both my girls.

I bought this entire outfit at the first market in April.

Irelynn's hat was also purchased there.

Next market:  
June 24th 10-2 at the Albion Bolton C.C. (150 Queen Street South, Bolton, Ontario).

Some other great reasons to go:
  • free parking and admission
  • activities for the kiddies
  • lots of great gift ideas
  • something for everyone!
  • you're supporting local vendors and our community

Have a great week and hopefully I'll see you at the next one!

To My Grandpa on his 100th Birthday

    On Sunday my grandfather turned 100 and we had a beautiful celebration.  I promise to post photos from the event once they are ready...I can hardly wait to see them!  Today I decided to share my speech completely unaltered.  If it sounds like I'm talking, it's because I literally recorded myself talking to myself about my grandpa...then I typed out what I said - almost word for word.  It truly helped me to speak from the heart and talk about the memories I'll have forever...   For my grandpa on his 100 th birthday…   My grandfather was born on February 18 th , 1918…fast forward about 64 years, and that’s when I came into the picture.   And that’s where I’m going to start.   My grandfather has been a part of my life as far back as I can remember.   At a very young age my mom and I moved into a neighbourhood in North Mississauga.   Not long after my grandparents moved into their home just one street over.   They were always right around the corne

Alzheimer's Disease is death before death, and I'm terrified of it." - Joey Comeau I wrote this entire entry last Sunday during my 5 hour train ride... Once again I'm on board VIA Rail train 65 to Toronto Union from Dorval, Quebec.  For my friends and family who follow my accounts through social media, it appears that I am returning home from a fun-filled weekend away - no kids, a little shopping, plenty of good food, morning runs along the St. Lawrence, non-alcoholic wine and loads of good conversation.  Not to mention this was the first time in over 5 years that I've left home and my family to be on my own for a few days.  But below the surface and behind all the charming photos, this weekend had much more meaning and significance than I ever could have imagined...For the first time in 7 years I went to visit my father. I never wanted to make this trip alone and nor did I intend on waiting so long.  I should have done it years prior but the timing

Tasca Park

    A couple weeks ago it was a beautiful Sunday morning and all I wanted to do was pack up the car with the entire family and head out to enjoy the day.  I was thinking something really fun - like heading to Center Island.  The reality was we were completely unprepared for any kind of outing...especially one that required planning ahead and being organized.  Instead we decided to save our Island adventure for another day (maybe even another year -ha!) and got to work cleaning up some things around the house.  All those really boring things I hate doing on a Sunday, but those are the same things you're grateful you did when Monday morning rolls around.    By the afternoon we were feeling ready and prepped for the week ahead but I still had that desire to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.  My hubby and I decided to throw the diaper bag in the car, fill up the water bottles and head out to one of the local parks in Caledon.  We really had no idea where we were g
